If you’ve ever dealt with unexplained plumbing problems—like recurring clogs, foul odors, or water damage—you know how frustrating it can be to solve the mystery. Fortunately, modern plumbing technology has a powerful solution: video plumbing inspection.
At Chad’s Water Works, we use advanced video camera equipment to diagnose hidden plumbing issues accurately, efficiently, and without unnecessary digging. Here’s what it involves and why your home may need it sooner than you think.
🔍 What Is a Video Plumbing Inspection?
A video plumbing inspection involves inserting a high-definition waterproof camera into your pipes to visually inspect your plumbing system from the inside. The camera is attached to a flexible cable and guided through your drains, giving a real-time view of the pipe’s condition.
This method is especially useful for identifying:
- Root intrusions
- Pipe corrosion or deterioration
- Cracks and leaks
- Blockages and buildup
- Collapsed or misaligned pipes
If you’re constantly dealing with drain cleaning issues, a video inspection might be the key to finding the root cause.
🛠️ Why You Need One
Here are five reasons a video plumbing inspection is a smart investment:
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Guesswork can be costly. Instead of relying on trial and error, a camera inspection gives a clear picture of what’s going on inside your pipes. This precision allows for faster, more effective repairs.
2. Prevent Major Repairs
Catching small issues early—like minor root intrusions or early corrosion—can prevent catastrophic damage. This is particularly important in older homes or after heavy rain.
If your inspection reveals a more serious issue, such as a cracked line or collapsed pipe, our sewer repair and replacement services can handle the job professionally and affordably.
3. Helpful for Homebuyers
Planning to purchase a home? A video inspection can reveal hidden plumbing problems that could cost you thousands after closing. It’s a smart add-on to any property inspection checklist.
